<h2 id="_background">BACKGROUND</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The NVMe-over-Fabrics specification defines the concept of a
Discovery Controller that an NVMe Host can query on a fabric
network to discover NVMe subsystems contained in NVMe Targets
which it can connect to on the network.  The Discovery Controller
will return Discovery Log Pages that provide the NVMe Host
with specific information (such as network address and unique
subsystem NQN) the NVMe Host can use to issue an
NVMe connect command to connect itself to a storage resource
contained in that NVMe subsystem on the NVMe Target.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that the base NVMe specification defines the NQN (NVMe Qualified
Name) format which an NVMe endpoint (device, subsystem, etc) must
follow to guarantee a unique name under the NVMe standard.
In particular, the Host NQN uniquely identifies the NVMe Host, and
may be used by the the Discovery Controller to control what NVMe Target
resources are allocated to the NVMe Host for a connection.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A Discovery Controller has it&#8217;s own NQN defined in the NVMe-over-Fabrics
specification, <strong>nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress.discovery</strong>.  All Discovery
Controllers must use this NQN name. This NQN is used by default by
nvme-cli for the <em>discover</em> command.</p></div>
